How Coaching Works

Not long ago, I was asked "How did you do that?"

The coaching process is interesting to “explain” - it's 2 parts brain science, 3 steps of strategic planning and a story about a guitar player I knew who toured with Meat Loaf. Even better than an “explanation” – I can provide a demonstration of the impact of coaching in a thoughtful conversation about your most important goals and challenges. It’s an exciting conversation and a great way for us to get acquainted.

"In a few years coaching will become the norm in business" - Washington Post

”Coaching has grown significantly for many reasons. Generally the world has changed a lot, and coaching is a useful tool to deal with many of those changes. For example, coaching is a great tool for today's challenging job market. There is more job transition, more self-employment and small business."

“In addition, individuals who have experienced the excellent results of coaching are talking to more people about coaching. In short, coaching helps people focus on what matters most to them in life: business and personal. People today are more open to the idea of being in charge of their own lives. Coaching helps people do just that; so the industry continues to grow.”

Your quick understanding of my situation showed an incredible amount of intuition and reasoning. Your ability to listen for true understanding, ask very pointed, poignant and relevant questions allowed you to quickly move into problem-solving mode with me. I found your process, advice, and warm personality to be extremely beneficial. I absolutely felt that you were a “trusted advisor” and you demonstrated your credibility immediately. As for results, the issues I was grappling with have turned into a realistic, workable plan thanks in no small part to your coaching. I'm excited about the plan and have started to put it in place.

"I hated my job. The amount of work piled on my desk seemed insurmountable. I felt as though I were in a deep hole in loose sand and the only fix I could envision was to drop out. Jonathan gave me the strategies to examine that choice. We worked on some basic strategies for increasing my productivity both in the office and throughout my life. More importantly, he also helped me to start seeing my life values reflected in my work, and thereby I have been able to rediscover job satisfaction."

I would recommend him highly for personal and business engagements."

Mitch Weisburgh - Online Learning Professional

"Thank you for the Income Double program, I feel it was worthwhile and that it will continue to pay dividends. I got three times my money's worth... maybe more. I also got a clearer view that I am darn close to where I want to be in all areas of my life, and this level of satisfaction has taken the "edge" off and reduced my daily stress. I built new relationships and landed a few new deals in my e-learning design business during the course of the program. Check back in a year because I will continue to earn a percentage of revenues from one of these new deals! What made the course great were the exercises you walked us through during each session AND that you spent enough time with EACH of us, following up to make sure we got value from each exercise and were moving forward on goals we were working on. I recommend this program and look forward to more coaching with you in the future."

Lena West – President - Xyno-Media

“I wanted to let you know how impactful Income Double – Half the Trouble has been on my business and my life. I have to admit that when I first heard of Income Double – Half the Trouble, I was a bit skeptical … but after really going through the course and learning more about the 80 -20 rule, even thought I thought I knew what that was, your take on it is just different … it helped me to see exactly how and where I’m getting the most bang for my buck.”

S.T. (name withheld to protect confidentiality)

"Jonathan, I am extremely pleased to have spent the last year with you! I have measurable results in increased income, an increased positive sense of who I am professionally and personally, and I have a much shorter "to do" list than when we started. I feel I'm on a great path, and with your help, I see the road ahead to be navigable and exciting. It's truly been a pleasure, and I will continue to refer you to friends and associates who want to change their lives for the better."

Seth Kaller- Historic Document Dealer

"Dear Jonathan, I want you to know how much I appreciate your ongoing assistance. As you know my typical day involves responding to hundreds of calls on my attention from clients, staff, auctions, other dealers, etc. The challenge has been to take care of all that while also spending some time developing the business further. Our discussions have certainly helped me to focus on prioritization and long-term planning and your advice has helped my decision making process. At the same time, your sessions with my staff are helping them become more productive and your recruiting advice seems to be paying off. Most of all, I appreciate your availability as a reliable sounding board. You think and act like a partner, which is the highest compliment I can give."

Nicole H.– Attorney / MSW candidate

“At a pivotal point in my work with Jonathan, I suddenly faced a strong urge to regress. My pursuits were getting overwhelming and I wanted to back out. Jonathan cleverly engaged a metaphor, describing my situation as being ‘in the middle of the river, and it was just as far to get back to where I began as it was to keep swimming to the other side.' I was tempted to swim back to what was familiar, but Jonathan helped me stay focused and gather the courage I needed. I am happy to report that I have since been steadily and confidently moving forward on my new path."

David Ross, President, David L. Ross & Assoc's

"Jonathan packs more content and ideas into a half hour than 90% of the other time-managers / coaches / personal improvement people out there."

Barbara J. Seymour, President, Pro Image Media

"You ran a tight ship; it was very well managed, informative and engaging. You gave me much to think about and act on! Many thanks."

M. D., COO

"Our weekly sessions have been tremendously rewarding for me. You’ve helped me hone my leadership skills, set measurable goals for my company and myself, and chart the path to get the desired results. I'm dealing more effectively with managing multiple priorities without being overwhelmed, manage my time more effectively, and leading my staff toward measurable and meaningful outcomes. Oh, and let’s not forget the promotion you helped me achieve in record time! Everything we've discussed has helped me in my personal life as well. You provide a supportive ear but also know when to offer alternative suggestions. Thank you for your dedication and passion."

P.D. (name withheld to protect confidentiality)

"I was at a real crossroads. I was grappling with a consulting career that I loved and was hungry to develop, but I also wanted to spend time with my two young children. Working with Jonathan, I prioritized my actions and developed a plan around how I could stay true to my family values and still do meaningful work. I focused my view of my ideal client, enhanced my marketing materials to reach that client, and grappled with my anxieties around raising the bar for myself. A year later, I'm extremely pleased with how things have turned out. My client base has expanded considerably and is more in line with my strengths. I actually have MORE time for myself and with my children than I used to. Thank you Jonathan for being the catalyst because I really am living my dreams!"

V. C. (name withheld for confidentiality)

"Jonathan provided the focus necessary start a job search during a very tough professional experience. He helped me gain clarity on exactly what I wanted and how to go about getting it. The process not only had the added benefit of securing three job offers in about six weeks, all with my desired criteria and great salary, but also provided an insightful and invaluable self-discovery process."

Leading with Impact

Wed, 09/24/2014 - 14:11 — jonathan

Powerful leadership increases productivity and sharpens a company’s competitive edge. When we talk of leading with impact here, we are talking about how it fosters a culture of conversation that leads to innovation in the organization.

Whether you are in a position responsible for Transformational Leadership, or engaged in bringing in clients in a Business Development role, or if you’re pursuing a career transition or career advancement, you want to show that you know how to lead with impact.

Here’s how to inspire, energize and motivate people in the organization to create more ideas and to produce more:

1. Ask good questions and listen.

The old school of leadership style is one of command and control – here are the rules, here are the goals, here are our initiatives. The pressure is on to produce results. While pressure is important for us to deal with, it is the CEO’s job to shield people from some of that pressure. Listen to what are employees’ concerns, listen to what they want to create, listen to what customers are asking for. That style of listening breeds freedom for input and has an impact on productivity and innovation.

2. Compile the input and make wise decisions.

After all that listening, compile the input that is provided by employees, customers and stakeholders. Make wise decisions and create new initiatives from that input. Give people credit for co-creating these. If people feel that they are a part of the initiatives they are now responsible for, they are ten times more likely to be comfortable and motivated to fulfill them.

What about you?
What questions might you ask to involve people in the decision-making process?

The Importance and Practice of Integrity

Edward R. Murrow, the late radio and television news broadcaster and President Kennedy’s head of the United States Information Agency, once said,

"To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; credible we must be truthful.”

Integrity is important in all relationships. If you are in a position responsible for Transformational Leadership, or engaged in bringing in clients in a Business Development role, or if you’re pursuing a career transition or career advancement, you want to be known as someone with integrity.

Integrity is the foundation of trust, reliability and stellar performance.

When we talk of integrity here, we are not talking about the morality of doing the right thing because what is the right thing to do is subject to opinion and values.

I’m certainly not against doing what you know is right, but for this conversation, the practice of integrity is keeping your word.

People know they can count on you as someone who does what you say you’ll do, and by when you said you would do it.

The second tenet of integrity is about restoring your word when you fall short. No one is 100% perfect. Sometimes we don’t come through with what we said we would, but we never want to leave people hanging and feeling like they deserve such treatment – like the impact to them doesn’t matter. If you are in any kind of leadership position, you are not going to get anyone to follow you if you don’t take care of what you say and the promises you make. Keeping and maintaining integrity is a practice without which you come across as sloppy at best.

Here is how to practice living with and restoring integrity:

1. Keep your promises and agreements, and be on time.
2. Communicate as soon as possible if something makes it impossible to keep your word.
3. Discuss the impact. It might be as simple as listening to what the other person has to say about it and addressing the matter in a way that makes a difference.
4. Make other arrangements or new commitments whenever there is a way to restore anything.

It takes courage, strength of will and practice to build and maintain integrity – not unlike the consistent commitment necessary to stay in shape physically. If you take this on with great rigor, you will stand out. You will also be building a great platform to set and reach bold goals and build high-performance teams.

What about you? In what area, pursuit or relationship will you step up your practices of integrity?

The Value of Self-Awareness

Tue, 09/09/2014 - 08:50 — jonathan

Articles ranging from Forbes and Business Week to Psychology Today all point to the importance of self-awareness as a critical to leadership performance. This is about being aware of what your strengths and weaknesses are and how they impact your performance and relationships.

If you are in a position responsible for Transformational Leadership, or engaged in bringing in clients in a
Business Development role, or if you’re
pursuing a career transition or career advancement, it is useful to improve your leadership skills.

Cornell’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations in 2010 looked at the interpersonal traits of 72 executives at public and private companies with revenues from $50 million to $5 billion.
Among other things, it concluded that, “a high self-awareness score was the strongest predictor of overall success. This is not altogether surprising as executives who are aware of their weaknesses are often better able to hire subordinates who perform well in categories in which the leader lacks acumen. These leaders are also more able to entertain the idea that someone on their team may have an idea that is even better than their own.”

To get there,

A) get feedback – gather a few interviews, either directly or through an unbiased source, to see what patterns emerge, Ask people what are your strengths and weaknesses. This is sometimes called a 360-degree survey. It can be formal or informal –whatever you’re willing to commit to. The more thoroughly you do this, the more accurate the information will be.

B) take a personality profile like the DISC, Myers Briggs or my favorite, the Team Dimensions Profile (ask me about that) . If you’d done one within the last year or so, do another or review your report with someone on whom you can count to identify strengths on which to build and weaknesses to deal with proactively.

Tribute - Words for Robin Wiliams

Mon, 08/18/2014 - 14:10 — jonathan

Even as I was in Rwanda last week, I wasn’t too far from the news of Robin Williams’ passing. The loss of this great man touched the world.
Robin Williams always took on inspiring roles - from the early days of Mork and Mindy to films like Good Morning Viet Nam, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire and even the genie in Aladdin. He was a voice of tolerance, freedom and new possibilities.
I’m particularly moved by the following quote from his character in the film, “Dead Poets Society:” "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this world."
I find it to be important to be careful about how we use words to describe, define and ultimately create new possibilities in our world. All too often, people have described a challenging situation or a negative experience using the positive verb tense, as in “He is such an asshole,” or “I am such an idiot.” It seems normal in our culture to speak this way, but new neuroscience discoveries confirm such language to be potentially damaging. We might create limiting definitions of situations and domains in our lives and in the lives of others. It limits the creation of new, positive possibilities while creating negative views and negative perceptions of people. Listen here for more insights on what to do instead.

Time for a Conversation

Mon, 07/28/2014 - 23:08 — jonathan

Have you ever found yourself getting stuck in your own head? In these situations, when is the right time to stop thinking on your own and start opening a conversation with someone else? Maybe right away?

To answer this question, I’d like to borrow a quote from American author, speaker, and activist in the field of self-development, Bryant McGill. He said, “We must understand that out of community and dialogue, the answers will arrive in their own time and way.”

Whether we are working on a challenge or approaching a bold goal, we all can get stuck sometimes. And this is the best time to open a conversation with someone that can help you come up with a solution or plan.

It could be with an employee, a colleague, a spouse or family member, a coach, a co-worker, a friend or even a stranger on a train. However, your best bet it so have relationships with people who are reliable to have conversations that lead to new ideas and new strategies. You may also have some people hold you accountable to reaching your own goals.

With any dialogue:

It is important to begin with what you want to have happen. What is the ideal outcome that you want to create?

It is your responsibility to make sure the other person is able to make a valuable contribution. From there, you want to listen very carefully and ask good questions. Value anything you hear, even if it seems strange to your way of thinking. See where it leads.

Once the conversation gets going, you will start to clearly hear ideas for the requests you have to make, the right plan of action and the best way to manage your time toward solving your problems and accomplishing your goals.

If you find yourself in a position of business leadership, business development or career transition, you will want to make sure to be the source of these kinds of conversations for other people. Are you someone who can help another person get unstuck with fresh perspective on their path to better solutions?

So what about you? What conversations are you ready to generate that will help solve your problems and lead to reaching bold, exciting goals?

Power of Patience

Tue, 07/22/2014 - 08:07 — jonathan

Being patient may be easier said than done, especially in this fast paced business world where most people value productivity over everything else. But whether you are in a position of transformational leadership, business development, or career transition, there is a special power to patience.

Here are three points on how you can access patience and the outcomes that you can expect:

Patience as Faith: Trusting that your goal or something even better WILL happen if your mind and resources are in alignment and you are totally committed to reaching that goal.
If you find yourself trying to force an outcome and it’s not working out, try exploring patience and faith instead.

Patience of Being with People: Taking the time to be fully engaged with others and listening deeply to what they have to say gives you the opportunity to create more meaningful relationships. Truly be patient with the people around you and they will be much more likely to support your vision. Of course, that doesn’t always mean you have to move slowly… sometimes you’ll still be able to play a fast paced game!

Patience Fosters Creativity: Studies have shown that productivity balanced with innovation and creativity are the keys to sustainable business success. In business, the term “patient capital” means that investors are willing to take time to support a business in creating breakthrough products and services operations.

Anything that you could possibly dream of accomplishing is possible with enough time and an undying commitment.

Take the time to listen here and find out more about just how powerful patience can be.

Kickstart Your Confidence

Tue, 07/15/2014 - 08:53 — jonathan

“The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers,”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I may not be a genius for acknowledging the boundless confidence we should all have in our own powers, but whether you find yourself in a position of leadership, executive management, business development or career advancement, confidence plays a pivotal role!

Webster’s dictionary points to three aspects of confidence:
1) A feeling of consciousness about one’s powers,
2) The quality or state of being certain, and
3) A relation of trust

Now, let me address these aspects in a more practical sense so that you can kickstart your confidence today.

1) Preparation: As we have discussed in the last couple of weeks, knowing what you’re expected to know, and being ready to improvise and create when looking towards the future, can unlock your confidence in both situations.

2) Practicing Faith: Having confidence and belief in the wholeness and interconnectedness of everything. Outcomes may not always turn out exactly the way we expect, however, if our commitment to values and purpose is unbreakable, overall our fulfillment and success follows.

3) Practicing Trust: We as human beings have the capacity for infinite creativity and resourcefulness. Success is just around the corner if you maintain confidence in your own capacity to tap into this immense potential.

Listen here for more thoughts on how being confident can set you up for business success and prosperity.

Preparation vs. Improvisation – Part Two

Tue, 07/08/2014 - 12:40 — jonathan

In continuing our two-part miniseries, our attention shifts to improvisation and its worthwhile role in business interactions.

Improvisation becomes possible as a complement to preparation when you have a clear sense of intention for every interaction and, in fact, for your whole purpose in your business pursuits. Whether you are in a role fostering transformational leadership, engaging with new and existing clients in business development or targeting an important career transition, it’s important to balance the following two intentions:

1) What do you want to create for the other people involved, and
2) What is it that you want to create or request for yourself?

Having the confidence that you have the capacity to fulfill these two central intentions, regardless of the situation or interaction you find yourself in, will lead to a future of greater accomplishment and prosperity.

Listen here for more inspiration in the realm of improvisation, and how having a clear sense of intention can go a long way in determining business success.

Actually, you may be surprised to discover that this segment is almost entirely improvised!

Advanced Leadership Essentials for Rain Makers

Thu, 07/03/2014 - 06:46 — jonathan

Whether you are involved in business development, transformational leadership (engaging people to follow your ideas) or you are transitioning between careers and networking with people to help you secure a new position, these three leadership essentials can greatly enhance your rainmaking capabilities.

1) Having An Extraordinary Presence With People – Be engaged and act in the moment! How can you make a difference now?

2) Listening For and Making Requests – Listening attentively for any needs that you can fulfill or opportunities that you can add value to. Then, what do you believe can be done to make a difference?

3) Leadership and Involvement – Getting involved in the community where your clients and contacts circulate and developing worthwhile relationships.

The opportunity to improve your network and grow your relationships is there. Listen here to find out more about what you can do to take advantage of this opportunity and become a better Rainmaker this week.

Preparation VS. Improvisation

Tue, 06/24/2014 - 09:53 — jonathan

In this two part series, we will explore the value and importance of both elements in being confident in your communication.

Whether you are expanding your capacity for transformational leadership, working to serve and sell to clients in a business development role or are navigating a career move, you will always be more confident if you are well prepared.

Unless you’re in the doctor’s office, it’s not very good to get caught with your pants down.

So preparation includes being ready for two eventualities:
a) Knowing

b) Not knowing.

It’s important to know what you’re supposed to know – what you’re expected to know. As a leader in your field, it helps to be an expert and be ready to answer the likely questions that might be asked of you. If some answers are frequently changing, like market prices and news of the day, it’s wise to set up a way to keep those updated answers handy.

What happens if someone asks you a curve ball, finding a question that happens to elude you beyond your already thorough preparation. If that happens, it’s good to be prepared to confidently answers honestly, “I don’t know…” Listen to this podcast for more on what to say in that situation.

Welcome! The purpose of this blog-cast is to provide thoughtful perspectives on leadership, team dynamics and peak performance for leaders and top producers. You'll start every week with savvy, upbeat and focused insights every Monday (read and/or listen) to produce exciting results by Friday (and beyond). Enjoy!
